PICTURES

This is a picture of Hera from 500-475 B.C. I chose this picture because it shows Hera sitting on a throne with a cockatoo on the back. One of Hera’s attributes is animals. Also it shows another one of her attributes, which is clothes & jewelry. I also chose this picture because it shows her looking like a goddess, since she has a specter in her hand. ca 500-475 B.C.

MODERN PICTURE

This is a modern-day picture of Hera. This picture shows many of Hera’s attributes. She is holding a specter in her hand, which represents her being a goddess, an apple in her other hand, a peacock on the specter, which is her attribute of sacred animals, and clothed & wearing jewelry. This is a more modern way of showing Hera, but still has all the same aspects as the picture from 500 B.C.
